The general chair of the PRICAI'XX and the Secretary-Treasurer of PRICAI shall negotiate terms and conditions of this seed grant.

Non-Profit Clause: The assets and income of the PRICAI shall be applied solely in furtherance of its objectives as mentioned in this document, and no portion shall be distributed directly or indirectly to the members of the Steering Committee except as bona fide compensation for services rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of the PRICAI.

Winding-up Clause: In the event of the PRICAI dissolved, the amount which remains after such dissolution and the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities shall transferred to any organisation which has similar objectives and exempt from income tax.
